IMPROVEMENT IN BED-LOUNGES.

Specificution forming part of Letters Patent No. l5i..539, dated June 2, 1874; application filed Match 14, 1874.

T0 all 707mm it may c07wern Be it known that I, FRANK J OHNSON, of Omaha, in the county of Dong1as and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and Improved BedLounge, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 reprcsents a front view of my improved bed-lonngc with face-board detached Fig. 2, a front view of the faceboard.

Similar lettcrs of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention Will first be fnlly described in connection with all that s necessary to a full nnderstanding thereot, and then pointcd ont in the claim.

In the drawing, A rcpresents the frame of the lonnge, to which. the seat B is hinged at the front part. The head part 0 is hingcd to the inclincd head-piece 0 of the lonnge-fiame A, and is to be swun in an ontward direction, ]ike scat B. lhe inside of loungeframe and scat are providod with suitable mattresscs, either fixed or detachable, the cnshioned head and scat being at the nnder sidc when the louage is used as a bed, and thcreby n0t exposcd to rapid wearing out. The hinged sec- The face-board D is detachabie, and has to be taken off when the lounge is folded into a bed. It closes the open part between the seat B and frame A, and is firmly applied to lugs e, attached near both ends of scat and frame, which Ings enter reccsses c, and pass along extcnsion-grooves (3 by sliding the board D sidewise toward the head of the lounge, retaining it firmly thercon till detached by sliding it in opposite direction for opening the lonnge. A hook f, of the head part 0, is attached to staple f of the front hoard 1) to prevent the aceidentai displacement of the same.

The lounge s qnickiy and easily changed into a bed, and vice versa, forming thereby a very convenient article et furnirure.

Having thus described my invention, I olaim as new and desire to securc by Lettefs Patent Tu combination with folded scat B and fran1e A, having projecting 1ngs e, the sliding faceboard D, provided With recesses 0 and groovcd extensions 6', for attaching the face-board, to gether With end hook and stapie fj", as de scribed.
